unshakable presence

The purpose of an Entreflâneur is to maximize abundance & presence.

Abundance comes from DOING. Creating value in the world so value comes back.

Presence is more difficult to explain. It’s about being.

How deep can you sink into focus, void of distraction?

How long can you sit in silence, totally content?

Presence is what’s left when you strip everything away.

Let’s say you’ve lost all your money, relationships, and skills.

You even lose your muscles built up from exercise.

Your slate is wiped clean.

What’s left?

Your quality of awareness or presence.

This is your baseline value as a person.

We are getting robbed of our presence on the daily. Our minds hijacked.

If you’re not careful, you will turn into a distractable housefly.

This is why working on presence is so important.

It’s a muscle that responds to exercise but will atrophy if left unused.

So how do you develop presence?

The best way is a simple 10-min morning meditation.

Do it first thing in the morning, as soon as you wake up.

If you need to use your phone as a timer, keep it on airplane mode.

Other ways to develop presence:

• Hard workouts with no music or phone

• Walking without podcasts (like a true flâneur).

• Eating food without watching something

• Not checking phone for (at least) first 30 minutes of the day

• Sports (especially combat sports)

• Massages

• Reading

• Playing an instrument

• Sauna, ice bath

• Any activity where you go DEEP

• Anything that gets you out of your head and into your body

Do as many of these activities as possible.

You can't overdo 'em.

As society gets better at dividing our attention, this will all become more important.

Stay present peeps 🧘‍♂️
